Pros:Sharpness, nice boken is good compact and lightweight construction
Cons:Somewhat anomalous focal length on micro four thirds equivalent to 60 mm
Opinion:Purchased to replace my 45mm 1.8 Olympus is kept for a week but unfortunately not satisfied. After several tests comparisons with my 45 mm I decided to give it back because it didn't make much sense and that focal length for me is a bit anomalous, that is for me who already owns the 20 mm 1.7 and the 45mm 1.8, for those who do not own any of these lenses it could be the turning point since it has a very pleasant boken, Impressive sharpness and very beautiful and contrasted colors by compromising the focal distance of 60 mm equivalent on micro four thirds.
Opinion:I use it mostly for portraiture and I was fully satisfied especially based on how much it costs. Every now and then I have some af problems when there starts to be less light. Not razor-sharp at 1.4 but acceptable, from 2.8 onwards very.good. Used sometimes for landscape and night photos. At optimal apertures 5.6/8 is well worth the expense..... indeed!!!
Opinion:A product with an excellent quality/price ratio. For those who have the right pretensions it is an excellent product. On APSC it is a good focal length for portraits and also landscape (genres I use it for). It is not very sharp, the edges are a bit soft especially at full aperture where the drop in sharpness is perceived a lot and improves optimally at f / 2.8. The Bokeh is very enjoyable. It creates chromatic aberrations, which are however correctable and not too excessive. I found the flares annoying and sometimes intrusive. In fact, not suitable for backlighting or near intense light sources. All the defects, however, are also justified for the very competitive price. The autofocus is not the best, it is still a lens of 7 years ago. If you use it at apertures higher than f / 2.8 the photos it produces are pleasant from the point of view of sharpness and colors. To carry around is comfortable and versatile, thanks to the size, weight and angle of view that corresponds to a 45mm on FF.
Opinion:One of the lenses that gave me the greatest satisfaction (also based on the quality / price ratio). Used on Sony A6000 was the first fixed lens I bought (used); I was immediately amazed by its sharpness that is very good already at F1.4 and improves up to F.11; Flare practically absent (of course if you push the lens to the limit by photographing against the light does not work miracles), focus ring with the right softness that allows a precise manual MF. If you want a fixed bright with equivalent focal length of about 50mm this is definitely the right lens, also the price of 'used is very advantageous because there are excellent opportunities around € 200 and with this figure you will have a lady lens for amateur use (perhaps even semi-professional) that will give you a lot of satisfaction. The only negative notes I found concern the uncertainty of the autofocus in low light conditions (where I advise you to use manual focus in addition to a tripod), in fact if you try to focus automatically with little light the lens takes a long time to hook the subject (sometimes it does not even hook it), problem that disappears in normal light conditions where the lens becomes fast and precise. Another negative note concerns the plastic hood very "cheap", it comes off very easily and if you are not careful sometimes it is easy to lose it, so pay attention to when you have mounted it. As for the weight, it depends on the camera body with which you use it; on the Sony A6000 being a small body, light and with a little pronounced grip its weight is felt and unbalances the camera forward (problem that can be solved by adding a Smallrig that increases the grip), if instead it is used on bodies a little heavier and with more pronounced grips (see Nikon or Canon) the problem does not exist. Lens that I highly recommend to those who will make an amateur / semi-professional use and who are looking for sharpness and brightness at affordable prices, of course do not expect a top lens in everything like brands (and especially prices) more noble, but with the right compromises it is an excellent lens. Vote 9
Pros:Solid weight and construction, compactness, sharpness, 1.4 9-blade diaphragm, very pleasant blur, good flare resistance, price
Cons:Perhaps the lack of stabilizer, hood not really stable
Opinion:A truly superb goal, a bit like the whole new Sigma series. An excellent alternative to standard zooms, to always carry with you to have fun and play with open apertures in reportage and street photography. Its effective focal length on apsc of 45mm f2.0 makes it in practice a poor 50ino, more or less equal to the view of the human eye. Light and compact, silent and precise autofocus, used on Sony A5100 did not miss a shot, impressive sharpness already at 1.4 and blurred with very pleasant detachment when making close-ups and half-length portraits. A lens that for what it costs offers so much, also the reduced weight and compact size, make it a real companion for every outing and portraits even indoors. Too bad the lack of stabilizer, but with the new sensors stabilized in the room the problem does not arise. Highly recommended!
